Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power electronics, and in particular to an inverter control method. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread use of renewable energy, inverters play an increasingly important role in power systems. Inverters not only facilitate the reverse flow of energy, but also provide quick support when electricity is needed.

[0003] However, existing inverter control methods have problems such as slow response speed and poor stability. In particular, it is difficult to achieve fast and accurate control when grid conditions change. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an inverter control method, which can achieve fine control of the current and voltage of the inverter through voltage and current inner loop control, power synchronization and compensation, improve the working efficiency of the inverter, and enhance its responsiveness in the power grid.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: an inverter control method, through accurate voltage and current measurement, real-time power calculation, dynamic output adjustment, feedback monitoring and protection mechanism, to achieve efficient and stable control of the inverter to adapt to the rapid changes of the power grid and improve the regulation ability of the power system, the method specifically includes the following steps: Step 1: Through accurate measurement of voltage and current and coordinate transformation, fine control of the current and voltage of the inverter is achieved; Step 2: Calculate instantaneous power in real time and synchronize it with the grid power, so that the inverter can quickly adapt to grid changes and achieve immediate response; Step 3: Use a real-time compensation mechanism to dynamically adjust the inverter output to meet the power system's urgent need for rapid regulation capabilities; Step 4: Add a feedback link to monitor the inverter output and adjust it according to the actual needs of the grid; Step 5: Add a protection link to automatically disconnect the inverter from the grid when a grid anomaly is detected.

[0006] Preferably, in step 1, voltage and current values ​​are detected by ADC or SDFM to provide real-time data support for the control algorithm.

[0007] Preferably, the coordinate transformation in step one includes Clark transformation and Park transformation.

[0008] Preferably, the power synchronization in step 2 is achieved by calculating the power factor and phase angle of the power grid, wherein the phase angle is detected by a phase-locked loop technology.

[0009] Preferably, the real-time compensation mechanism in step three includes adjusting the amplitude and phase of the inverter output current.

[0010] Preferably, the feedback link in step four includes voltage feedback and current feedback.

[0011] Preferably, the voltage feedback monitors the output voltage in real time through a voltage sensor and compares it with the expected voltage. After the voltage signal received by the controller is compared with the expected voltage, an error signal is generated according to the comparison result. The error signal is used to adjust the switching state of the power switch device so that the output voltage is consistent with the expected voltage. The output AC power supply voltage is first reduced to a lower level and then fed to the shutdown pin of the control IC. The control IC uses a fixed voltage from the inverter battery voltage to monitor the feedback signal. If the output voltage exceeds a predetermined value, the error amplifier is activated, thereby shutting down the inverter output PWM and reducing the output voltage to a safe level.

[0012] Preferably, the current feedback monitors the output current in real time through the current sensor, and feeds back the monitored current signal to the controller, which compares the received current signal with the expected current and adjusts the switching state of the switching device according to the comparison result, so that the output current is consistent with the expected current, and adopts a dual-loop control scheme of an inductor current inner loop with load current feedforward and an output voltage outer loop, wherein the outer loop is the output voltage instantaneous value feedback, and the inner loop is the inductor current instantaneous value feedback.

[0013] Preferably, the control method further includes a prediction step for predicting the future state of the power grid and responding in advance.

[0014] Preferably, the control method further includes a communication link for realizing information exchange and coordinated control between inverters.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) This control method can achieve efficient and stable control of the inverter through precise voltage and current measurement, real-time power calculation, dynamic output adjustment, feedback monitoring and protection mechanism. In particular, in step one, the voltage and current values ​​are detected by ADC or SDFM to provide real-time data support for the control algorithm, which helps to improve the inverter's response speed and control accuracy to grid changes. At the same time, in step two, the instantaneous power is calculated in real time and synchronized with the grid power, so that the inverter can quickly adapt to grid changes and achieve immediate response. This rapid response capability is crucial to maintaining the stable operation of the grid, especially when the grid fluctuates or the load suddenly changes, the output can be adjusted quickly to reduce the impact on the grid and improve the stability and reliability of the entire power system. (2) The control method adopts a real-time compensation mechanism to dynamically adjust the output of the inverter to meet the urgent need of the power system for rapid regulation capability. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the inverter to better adapt to the load changes of the power grid and optimize the regulation capability of the power system, thereby improving the flexibility and economy of the power system. (3) A feedback link is added to the control method to monitor the output of the inverter and adjust it according to the actual needs of the power grid. This not only improves the response speed of the system, but also enhances the safety and reliability of the system. A protection link is added to automatically disconnect the inverter from the power grid when a power grid abnormality is detected. This can effectively prevent power grid failures from causing damage to the inverter or other parts of the power grid. In addition, the preferred current feedback monitors the output current in real time through a current sensor and feeds the monitored current signal back to the controller. The controller compares the received current signal with the expected current and adjusts the switching state of the switching device according to the comparison result, so that the output current is consistent with the expected current. This closed-loop control strategy further enhances the safety and reliability of the system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
